Größeres Bild

0.500 kg

The Messier Catalogue is a list of one hundred and ten galaxies, star clusters and nebulae, and includes many of the brightest and best-known objects in the sky. Amateur astronomers can challenge their abilities by attempting to find all the objects on the list in one night, and thus complete the Messier Marathon. This book contains over 90 easy-to-use star maps to guide the observer from one object to the next, and provides tips for a successful night of observing. The book also tells the story of the eighteenth-century astronomer, Charles Messier, and how he came to compile his extensive catalogue. This complete guide to the Messier Marathon will help the amateur astronomer to observe the Messier Objects throughout the year, using a small telescope or even a pair of binoculars.

Includes 36 full-page sky charts; equipment, books, and software suggestions; sketches of how deep-sky objects look through a small telescope; and more than 100 black-and-white photographs.

Observing the Caldwell Objekt

Größeres Bild

1.000 kg

In 1781, the French astronomer Charles Messier produced his famous catalogue of 109 "non-stellar" celestial objects. Messier was interested in finding comets, and the catalogue listed the things he sometimes mistook for comets, so he could quickly eliminate them from his searches. The Messier Catalogue and its designations (M1 - M110) remains in use today, but it is used as a list of the 109 most interesting 'amateur' astronomical objects.
The objects listed in the Caldwell Catalogue supplement Messier's famous catalogue of 110 non-stellar objects, and they include some of the most fascinating objects for amateur astronomers.
There is a photographic image of every object and full technical data including position (with the major Star Atlas chart numbers) and NGC number. It also includes a finder map showing Telrad™ circles, a star-hopping guide, a visual description of what the object looks like through amateur telescopes, and a physical description of the object itself.

Star Clusters (Archinal, Hynes)

Größeres Bild

0.800 kg

This book covers, in just under 500 pages, star clusters, globular clusters, asterisms and other objects that have been misidentified as such. It is both a descriptive text of the historical study and astrophysics of some the youngest (open clusters) and oldest (globular clusters) objects that populate the Universe along with the most up-to-date catalog of these objects in existence---an effort that has taken more than a decade to complete. Over the last few hundred years many of these objects have been repeatedly rediscovered and subsequently renamed, misidentified as to their true nature, or given incorrect celestial coordinates. Altogether there are 5,045 individual objects catalogued in this work that have a total of 13,949 "alias" names - on average, nearly 3 names for each object. This work catalogs 2,017 clusters in the Milky Way or previously misidentified as Milky Way clusters, including 151 globular clusters or possible globular clusters, and 1547 open clusters or possible open clusters...

Sternentstehung (Klessen)

Größeres Bild

0.300 kg

Die ersten Sterne bildeten sich bereits wenige hundert Millionen Jahre nach dem Urknall, der den Beginn des Universums markiert. Und Sterne entstehen auch heute noch, etwa 13 Milliarden Jahre später. Mit modernen Großteleskopen können wir am Nachthimmel den Verlauf der Sternengeburt in unserer Milchstraße im Detail untersuchen und direkt in den Kreißsaal der Sterne blicken. Etwa im Wintersternbild Orion. Gleichsam vor unserer kosmischen Haustüre, bilden sich dort jungen Sterne wortwörtlich haufenweise aus ihrer Geburtsmaterie in riesigen Gas- und Staubwolken. Ein komplexes Wechselspiel aus Schwerkraft, Überschallturbulenz und Magnetismus bringt braune Zwerge, rote Riesen, schwarze Löcher, aber auch ganz normale Sterne wie unsere Sonne hervor. Der Heidelberger Professor Ralf Klessen erklärt und beschreibt in diesem Buch die astrophysikalischen Grundlagen des Sternbildungsprozesses auf sehr anschauliche und reich illustrierte Weise.

Nebulae and How to Observe Them (Coe)

1.000 kg

Nebulae are the places where the stars are born. For amateur astronomers, the many different kinds of nebulae vary from "easy" targets that can be seen with modest equipment under mediocre skies, to more obscure "challenging" objects that require experienced observers, more powerful telescopes and excellent observation conditions.

The concept of this book - and of the series - is to present an up-to-date detailed description and categorisation of nebulae, and then to instruct the reader in the best ways to successfully observe and record the large range of astronomical objects that fall under the general heading of "nebulae".

Nebulae and How to Observe Them is a comprehensive mine of information for all levels of amateur observers, from the beginner to the experienced.

The Astronomers' Observing Guides are designed for practical amateur astronomers who not only want to observe, but want to know the details of exactly what they are looking at ASTRONOMERS’ OBSERVING GUIDES provide up-to-date information for amateur astronomers who want to know all about what it is they are observing. This is the basis of the first part of the book. The second part details observing techniques for practical astronomers, working with a range of different instruments.
